Baths

Short on space? Modern bathroom vanities for small spaces don’t have to scrimp on style, as evidenced by this diminutive porcelain sink with chrome cross handles.

Dual, white square-shaped sinks make the perfect modern bathroom vanities for granite countertops, like the contrasting black one seen here.

A modern floating vanity in black and white rests among other elements of dark and light in this stunning, modern bathroom.

Modern bathroom vanities with a double sink are an added convenience for shared spaces. This one boasts expansive space between the two sinks and a hearty concrete countertop.

Modern bathroom vanities with undermount sinks require a larger space. This unique bathroom layout works perfectly with this large vanity.

Think about proportion and size. For instance, are you swapping out your old one because it’s too small? Are you planning to install a new vanity in a tiny powder room and need to find something small enough that would fit?

Large bathrooms such as this one often call for modern bathroom vanities with storage. This one does the job with two large shelves resting between the two sides, each with two large drawers.

Blonde wood wall bars are complimented by bathroom fittings from Scavolini’s Lagu line, including mustard yellow matte lacquered vanity units. The towel rail above the vanity sports a Gym Space storage shelf.

The Gym Space system will fit in bathrooms of all sizes: “You don't have to have a big bathroom,” says Pareschi.

Creating a spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom begins with key design features, including natural lighting, soothing color tones, and organic materials.

This bathroom, tiled in bright blue mosaic to offset the home’s limited materials and color palette, calls for a simple vanity. The sinks, toilets, and tubs are by Villeroy & Boch, while the faucets and towel rails are by Grohe and Avenir, respectively.

The ensuite master bathroom features Ann Sacks slate floor tile, contrasted with white Carrara marble that wraps the Kohler Tea for Two tub. The shower features tile from Heath Ceramics.

The tile is by Carter.

A large skylight above the shower ushers in ample natural light into the bathroom.

The Lais designed their house to be theirs forever. As such, they were able to make design moves that made sense for themselves but that wouldn't have high resale value, like the Japanese-style master bathroom in the middle of the second floor instead of off of the master bedroom. The traditional setup features bath stools from Muji for washing off.

A mosaic tile wall softens the laboratory-like effect of the glossy kitchen cabinets.

Dunbar describes the bathroom as an outside-in room because it has light, air, and sometimes, when it drizzles and the skylight left open, even rain. Designed for exactly these circumstances, a blue-glass mosaic tile floor is laid at an angle to drain with ease.
